[edit] History

Vaginal Jesus initially signed onto the defunct Swasticore Records. Printing only a few hundred copies, they released the EP "Jesus Saves...His Pennies." After Swasticore Records went under, Vaginal Jesus would sign to Reich-O-Rama Records, which later suffered the same fate as the former. They would later release "Beat Rodney Down" EP.

Vaginal Jesus then relocated to Boston.

[edit] Tri-State Terror era

In 1995, Mudoven formed as a side-project of guitarist Jim Crow. Crow is the only musician in the band, utilizing his guitar and drum-machine. Mudoven first released their demo in 1995 titled "Hate." Then in 1997, Mudoven signed on to the now-defunct Tri-State Terror Records label, which released the 7-inch EP "Aryan Vs. Alien." The EP cover had photos of Holocaust victims on both the cover and vinyl record. Only 1000 copies were produced, with 800 of them on black vinyl and 200 on white vinyl.

Crow still continued to play with Vaginal Jesus. They would later be featured on an MSR Productions CD compilation titled "Leaderless Resistance." Crow later expressed outrage with MSR Productions for unknown reasons.

Tri-State Terror then released Mudoven's first full-length album "Truth and Tragedy: Life in the Occupied Zone" in 1998.

Their last release with Tri-State Terror was a Vaginal Jesus compilation titled Affirmative Apartheid in 2000. This compiled most of their previous recordings with Swasticore and Reich-O-Rama Records. It also included the three tracks from the MSR Productions compilation in addition to many unreleased tracks.

At that point, Tri-State Terror finally went under.

[edit] Post Tri-State Terror

Once Tri-State Terror broke up, Vaginal Jesus was left with no record label.

In 2002, Resistance Records later reissued the Tri-State Terror compilation Affirmative Apartheid before sending it to Unholy Records.

In 2004, Vaginal Jesus finally disbanded.

Mudoven still continues to play and has collaborated with Arghoslent and Greek NSBM band Der Stürmer. Their work has been released on Vinland Wind Records.

Vinland Winds Records is soon to go out of business due to the death of label owner Richard Mills.

[edit] Lyrical themes

Vaginal Jesus and Mudoven were both known for their extremely racist lyrics. Earlier Vaginal Jesus recordings were intended to be anti-Christian and anti-Semitic. On later recordings (particularly Beat Rodney Down), Vaginal Jesus mocked the 1992 Los Angeles Riots following the LAPD's brutality against Rodney King. Crow stated in an interview that it was appropriate to send a pejorative message towards the Black community, as their earlier anti-Semitic lyrics were irrelevant to the time.

Once Mudoven formed, white supremacy continued to be the predominant lyrical theme; unlike Vaginal Jesus, the lyrics were far more intense. Themes included advocating genocide of Jews, repatriation/deportation of African-Americans to Africa, murdering non-whites, and pleading for white rights.

One particular song celebrated the actions of the Unabomber. Crow explained in the lyrical booklet the reasoning behind the song's meaning:

“ A few words about the song "Unabomber"-This was written mostly in the fall of 1995, at least six months before the arrest of Unabomber suspect Ted Kaczynski. It looks like Ted is the culprit, especially since he was turned in by his brother. After all, the US government certainly had no idea what it was doing, as usual. Ted is a slick little man- If he wasn't turned in, he would still be blowing up corporate assholes today. In the meantime, after the song "Unabomber" was written, it became known that terrible Teddy took hints from a filthy Mexican radical named Pancho Villa. This little rant is here to denounce ANYONE who worships a greasy gunslinging mud creature. However, Mudoven does NOT retract any of the above lyrics. After all, we Aryans are in hard times- We need to find inspiration anywhere we can. And as you've read above, Mudoven found inspiration in late '95. And even if Ted did get his feathers ruffled over a disgusting, glistening beaneater, the fact of the matter is that he served our purposes well. Face it- Unabomer (whoever he is) has done more to protect and advance the White race than any other person in the last 40 years with the exception of Tom Metzger. We would like to think that someone other than a mud-lover blew up a bunch of environment-raping Israelites, but we should accept help any way we can get it...How many Jews have you blown up this year?[1] ”
